The National Woodland Owners Convention will be held in Minnesota in late July. They will be holding their Field Day on Saturday, July 27 in the Isanti area.

They are asking the MnGCA if we would like to have a booth at their Field Day, where we can discuss geocaching and maybe place some demonstrational hides. They are expecting 250-350 people to be milling about.

This is a great opportunity for the MnGCA to introduce and promote geocaching to people whom own forestland throughout Minnesota and the country. Please email board@mngca.org if you think you can help out at all.

Yes, this is the one. No help will be turned down! Saturday, July 27, Isanti area (on a tree farmer's land). We will have a geocaching booth and some demonstrational hides.

We will have to take time to scope out various hides around the property. Some of us may have to schedule a time in advance of the 27th to place the hides, make up some geo-sheets, and I suppose program some of our gps'rs to so we can lend them out to present muggles, future geocachers. Just thinking out loud.

A big thanks to those that came out to help. We had a lot of people stop by and ask questions. They were really interested once we would bring up a map page and show them how many caches were near their homes or tree farms. Too bad the cool day became chilly and rainy.

Thanks to Northmark, MamaDuck, and Jeepers Creepers for braving the chill to get people interested in caching (and keeping Mini and me company under the big tent and watching the rain). Huge thanks to AerosmithPA for being the contact person through the whole convention set up, for hiding temp caches for the participants, and for presenting on convention day.
